Birthday. Reunion. Reconnect.

If there is one thing you can count on when you reunite with old classmates is that it's the outright joy in seeing everyone and finding out where they are today. Recently, I attended another class reunion in which many of us returned to celebrate our 50th birthday year in unison. It was a huge success and memorable at best to see a well-orchestrated celebration among classmates. This reunion was well planned with a start of an " ice-breaker " cocktail hour in reuniting and reconnecting with fellow classmates. It was at first overwhelming with the return of friends from a reunion a couple of years ago as well as seeing new faces coming into the mix.

I grew up with the music from the 70s, 80s, and 90s which included all time favorites from the king of pop, Michael Jackson and amazing vocals from Whitney Houston . Sadly, they are no longer with us, as they left this world before they even turned 51. It struck a void for a moment as I obviously thought they'd be around for a while - creating songs for many more years, but no. Whitney Houston's song, " The Greatest Love of All " was our senior graduation class song. We spent our lunch hours learning and perfecting the lyrics not necessarily to her exact vocals, but to at least give homage to the lyrics and the hopes the words we sang on graduation day would resonate in our minds as we soon begin to head out to our new adventure out into the "...
